Currents is a sparkplug for communication between NOAO and our community. It provides updates—and solicits community input—on NOAO observing opportunities and NOAO programs and policies on a more rapid timescale than is possible with the NOAO Newsletter.

Opportunity (Your Involvement in TMT Invited): As part of the recent cooperative agreement between NSF and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) Observatory, NOAO is organizing a 5-year community planning effort to solicit and report on US perspectives regarding TMT science, education and public outreach, instrumentation, and facility operations. The US community is invited to attend the first TMT Science Forum 22-23 July 2013 to engage in the start of the planning process. As described in this article, limited funding for travel support is available and can be requested by writing to TMT@noao.edu before 6 May 2013.

We look forward to hearing from you!
